Did you know that humans evolved with the potential to literally regulate one another’s energy efficiency? As they say…with great power comes great responsibility.

This is a power and responsibility that coaches often take for granted. Once people achieve a position of power or status, research shows they actually become less sensitive to, and more disconnected from, the needs of the people who work ‘for’ them or are in a subservient role.

This is a dangerous cocktail.

It turns out that coaches without a level of interpersonal sensitivity, self-awareness, and self-care are actually hurting themselves.
